It was okay but absolutely not worth the money. I have used VRBO as my go to around the globe and this was a Meh at best. the neighborhood was a little loud and intimidating a couple of nights. The layout was not great for a group. Everything was on the top floor and the bedrooms were in the basement. I wouldn't rent this property again.
4.0 / 10.0
Positives:
— location
— well stocked kitchen
Negatives:
— yard is a shadow of itself from what one sees in the pictures
— kitchen stove was greasy
— stairway very steep. Not for small children, could benefit from a baby gate as living room and kitchen are upstairs. Also, some stair liners were loose which could cause a fall.
— the interior desperately needs to be painted
— sofas need steam cleaning
All in all, for the price paid, I expected something closer to what I’d get for a similarly priced hotel.
Unrelated to the property, VRBO and other STR sites are putting hotels to shame with additional fees. For example, early checkin available, at $50/hour. (No benefit for early checkout!). Then admin fees, cleaning fees, etc etc.

We were two families with small children and loved being close to the beach. Nice backyard with a clean grill. Spacious upstairs area for hanging out.

Im not bad mouthing the host but them 3 male stooges around the neighborhoods keep harassing me and my family. It was to a point we're going to kick ourself out after we whip their ass. I would not recommend this place because of that. It not worth the hassle dealing with grown ass man who want to Sabotage a person wellbeing. Enough said

Large, spacious place that has plenty of places to sleep. Thermostat allows you to adjust the temperature indoors. Plenty of parking as well.

This place is amazing! It is very spacious and allowed us to have a very relaxing time with my family. My adult kids commented on how "chill" it was, since there weren't any signs on what not to do in every room... it's only a very short walk to the beach, and the view onto the ocean from the living room window is breathtaking. The beds were so comfortable. We also enjoyed the beautiful and very private backyard. The dishwasher was a little wonky as it's not bolted in, but everything else was in great working order.

It's a nice place, in a nice neighborhood, and a great view of the ocean. The house has everything you need. There will little things that could be improved. They're are so many light switches, it was hard to tell what did what. The fireplace in the master bedroom either didn't work or wasn't obvious how to turn it on. As far as cleanliness, it looked like no one had been there in a while, but it was mostly clean. I only mention some of these things because I've stayed at a lot of places and this place could be really incredible with some small tweaks and upgrades.

We had a great time at this place. It was spacious, clean, had enough seating for all of us! Our host was also very responsive to my questions before arrival.

We had a group of 11 in our family for four days. The house is spacious and allowed each of us to choose to join in with the noisy fun and activity, or instead to retreat to any of several quiet and comfortable areas. We found everything we needed, towels etc. The upper floor is the main living area, and we had no problem with our upstairs activity disturbing the downstairs sleepers. The kitchen is very large and roomy, with every coffee option you could dream of! The house has many views from every window making it bright and cheerful and open. The backyard was put to good use by the little ones, giving them a safe, secure and entertaining place to play. The beach is a short walk from the home and a perfect place to spend the day. The upstairs primary shower continues to have a sticking door that needs some attention, and the dishwasher is not bolted in (so use caution when loading and unloading your dishes). Despite these issues, I would definitely recommend this home for a larger family. The spacious floor plan and location so near the beach just can't be beat!
8.0 / 10.0
For the most part, the facility was good. Enough space for all 14 of us. Some things we would improve on are: the shower, door, upstairs, more toilet, paper, paper towels, maybe more beach towels, or games to play. Other than that it was a good place. One more thing, more seating in the living area by the fireplace.

Location was amazing!! Host was easy to get a hold of with questions. Only drawback was the property was a little in need of some updates, and a had a few ants and spiders in the house as well, otherwise amazing home!

Lots of room for our group of 8. Location is awesome with lots of walking options nearby. Backyard is beautiful! We spent lots of time gathering in the backyard around the fire table. We’d definitely rent again!

There were 12 of us celebarating my Mother's 80th birthday. Our family included 4 young adults (men 18-21) who all stayed upstairs: 1 in each sofa bed upstairs and 1 in each sofa type couches large enough for all. (All young men are 6' to 6' 5" so if that gives you an idea, that the boys had enough room.
Mom and sis stayed in the master bedroom and then the remaining 6 peeps (3 couples) were in the bedrooms downstairs. The only slight minus is that you have 6 adults downstairs with only one bathroom so it got a little tricky in the a.m. with folks needing to use the restroom but not a huge deal.
The hostess was extremely responsive. There was a slight communication issue as a result of the storms recently and the housecleaner who had locked supplies in a closet. When we arrived there were extremely sparse lines which we didn't realize until late into the evening that the young men needed sheets/pillow cases and extremely limited towels but we messaged the next morning and our needs were immediately resolved. One doesn't think to check all that upon arriving but it worked out.
The first night we ordered BBQ locally which was a disappointment as a side note...2nd night we made a lovely cioppino dinner which is a family tradition. I would love to return when the weather is better.
One of the things I wanted to emphasize is that the MB and Kitchen are upstairs and there's kind of a bonus room off the livingroom with the couches.
All in all - you can't go wrong here but would love it if they had a hot tub in the back yard which would be icing on the cake!!!!

We had a great stay despite some crazy rain storms. So many rooms had views of the ocean which helped us enjoy our vacation even when we were stuck inside. Weather led to some internet outages which the managers worked diligently to fix even though much if it was outside their control. We were very happy with the service and highly recommend. All beds were extremely comfortable!

This was our second stay at this property. We absolutely love the house, the views and the proximity to the beach. Both times we have stayed we have brought our small dogs. It looks like the listing may have changed to prohibit pets which is a shame as it is just a few blocks away from a great dog beach.
This house is fully equipped to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of space and a wonderful fire pit in the back yard. We have enjoyed staying here and hope to book again.

We enjoy time in half Moon Bay area for our annual college reunion. The house was spacious with a view of the water and plenty of areas for socializing. My only negative comment would be that it needed some maintenance with the windows and curtains. We were not able to open most of the window.

We had 2 families sharing this beautiful, well maintained property. There was enough space without feeling crowded. Lovely location a block from the waterfront; great views from the house. Close to good restaurants, grocery store and Half Moon Bay downtown area. The only area for improvement is to have the garbage and recycle bins emptied before new guests arrive. They were so full that there was barely room for our garbage and recycling after our few days stay. Highly recommend; would definitely stay there again.

The only issue we had was there were some dirty spoons in the drawer, it was an easy fix (just put em all in the dishwasher) aside from that the family plus pup enjoyed staying at the property.

We enjoyed the many rooms and wonderful kitchen at this property. The back yard is something out of the Secret Garden - very cool and secure with children staying with us. A short walk to the beach and local restaurant was also appreciated.

Terrific, Large Half Moon Bay Rental Home
We were frustrated that we couldn't get into the Ritz as it was sold out, but super glad in hindsight, as that drove us to VRBO to find this wonderful, large home rental! Very spacious, well appointed, comfortable beds, close to beach. Fair price (and much cheaper than the Ritz!).

We enjoyed our stay! Big, well stocked kitchen, plenty of room for us. The upstairs has the master bedroom and big bathroom, a half bath, kitchen, dining room x 2, a party room with a bar, living room with a gas fireplace. The downstairs has three big bedrooms, a big laundry room, one full bathroom and the front door. My Mom is almost 84, so we put her upstairs so she didn’t have to go up and down the stairs as much. The house sits an equal distance from highway one and the beach. You can hear both the traffic and the ocean. The windows are screwed shut which i did not like. The towels and whatnot are in a closet downstairs. It took us a bit to find them. Super easy check-in as well as check-out. The gas firepit was nice and the girls loved making S’mores. The backyard is awesome! So many things to see and do close to the house. I would definitely recommend this home. Thank you for the use of your wonderful home

I usually try to leave only glowing reviews to help people rent their properties. I am also usually not too not picky, but maybe it is because we are in Covid times. Unfortunately, our check in was delayed by 30-45 min which left us standing outside in the cold as the cleaners finished. This was difficult for us because we had two small children and people over 70 with us. Another bummer was that the bridge to cross over to the longer beach was closed so the only other beach nearby was a smaller one. It was still a nice beach but when the tide is up, the beach disappeared. There is a great walking trail nearby so that was nice. The place itself is enormous and very nice. Great for a big group. It has two fireplaces and unfortunately, the one in the master bedroom did not work. Which was a real bummer for my wife and I, who paid for the place. The property manager offered to send a tech to fix it but with Covid, we didn’t feel comfortable with that. He said he would send instructions on how to take a stab at fixing it, but he never did. The master shower is incredible with two shower heads. Unfortunately, after about 3 minutes, the water begins going cold and gets icy very quickly... The stairs are pretty steep so anyone of an older age needs to be carful, my father in law fell the first night pretty hard. It was also tough for our two dogs that are a little older as well. It wouldn’t be an issue for younger dogs or people of course. The backyard is awesome! Great layout and use of space. The dogs and all ofOur group loved it! All in all, for the right group, it’s a great spot. For us, I’d rate our stay and experience as a 3-4

Lovely Stay!
Spacious house with numerous different spaces for different age groups to hang out. Comfortable beds! Short walk to beach and short drive to harbor. The main living area is upstairs. Although the house is listed as 3 bathrooms, it is in fact only 2 1/2. We had a good crabbing trip and made good memories to last a lifetime! Would gladly come back!
